Hurricanes and other extreme weather events often affect disadvantaged communities more severely, and extended power outages are some of the most harmful effects. Concerns over the intensification of hurricanes has led to new environmental justice policies that aim to mitigate the unequal impacts of major storms. Now, policy experts and engineers are directing their attention toward illuminating the causes. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology sought to investigate whether socioeconomically vulnerable households experienced longer power outage durations after extreme weather events. The team analyzed data from the top eight major Atlantic hurricanes between 2017 and 2020 that knocked out…

Commenting on a similar $1 million-per-Bitcoin prediction by entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan, Mow said that the impact of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval…

A graphic illustrates the setup and functions for the Rice Advanced Magnet with Broadband Optics, or RAMBO, a unique instrument that lets researchers use pulsed-laser spectroscopy to examine the behavior of materials that are simultaneously cooled near absolute zero and subjected to a massive pulse of magnetic energy. Credit: Junichiro Kono Laboratory Materials with enhanced thermal conductivity are critical for the development of advanced devices to support applications in communications, clean energy and aerospace. But in order to engineer materials with this property, scientists need to understand how phonons, or quantum units of the vibration of atoms, behave in a…
